WhatsApp privacy policy update: No, you will not lose any functions, clarifies company

In January this year, WhatsApp announced an update to its privacy policy. The Facebook-owned company later announced a 15 May deadline to accept the policy. The company has assured that despite crossing the deadline, users will not lose any functions.

The company’s spokesperson told Mint, “WhatsApp continues to provide an important way for friends and family to stay in touch during this difficult time. While the majority of users have already approved our update, no one will lose functionality on May 15 if they haven’t yet and we’ll be sure to provide reminders at a later time.”
